By Simon Stocken on 23 May 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
Read this so many times and now my copy has gone missing.
This is the best written bridge book and it feels like your are right there with Mr Reese as he talks his way through the bidding - brilliant and the play - faultless

5.0 out of 5 stars Watch and Learn 6 Feb. 2012
By Chuck M - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This is a great book written by one of the best Contract bridge players and writers of all time! I think you will learn more by following Reese's reasoning on the 60 deals than you would from a similar number of computerized deals from Larry Cohen or Mike Lawrence. I purchased this book, new, at amazon.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dazzling, delightful 4 Jun. 1999
By Amazon Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Hardcover
It's a shame Play Bridge with Reese and this book are out of print because they're classics. Some books give you rules and group hands into topics and chapters. These are different. You pick up a bridge hand with the late, great Terrence Reese, and follow his thoughts and choices through the bidding. When the bidding is over, the opponents lead, dummy comes down and you follow his thinking through the play of the hand as he develops a plan and builds up a picture of the hidden hands card by card. The method is simple but the results are dazzling, entertaining and instructive. Play Bridge with Mike Lawrence and Play a Swiss Team of Four with Mike Lawrence use a similar style - also wonderfully done - but Play Bridge with Reese is probably the best of the four.

4.0 out of 5 stars Play these hands with me. 19 Mar. 2006
By Glenn London - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
This is a great book to for intermediate or even advanced player. It addresses the thought process of the expert (Terence Reese) on his bidding and declarer play on a wide variety of hands. Some of the bidding conventions are now outdated, but even for today's ACBL bridge player it is an excellent learning tool to improve one's declarer play, as well as an enjoyable bridge read.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to think at the table 24 Dec. 2006
By Randy Penner - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
What does an expert think about?

How does he go about testing his hypothesis?

Don't worry if the bididng is a little old fashioned, look deeper, at the problem, and the tools (bidding) the author had at the time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Play Bridge with Reese was a lot better 16 May 2007
By B. Einhorn - Published on Amazon.com
Format: Paperback
I much prefered the authors other book: Play Bridge with Reese

1 - I didn't like his attitude. Regardless of his skill, he does not seem like someone I'd care to play with.

2 - the bidding is outdated and franky bad. Some of Reeses ideas would be rejected today. Its *VERY* hard to try and figure out teh shape when an opponent makes horrible bids like opening 1 NT with a spot singleton spade. Thats a horrible bid, and you are better off using the few minutes you have during each hand to think abiout a realistic set of hands.

3 - A number of the hands involved some non simple squeezes. They are not all that common, and even advanced players would be better off if they used their time looking at other types of problems. I think teh selection of problem types was just not that good. Soem problems were good, some were fair, some were poor.

I think one of the reasons this book got so much acclaim is Reese was one of the first authors to use this style. Since there are now many otehr books that also present the reader problems in this format, thsi book has not aged well. I would recommend reading many other play of the hand books before this. (Eddie Kantar, Mike Lawrence, Kelseys Test Your XXX, Win the Bermuda Bowl with Me, Danny Roth)

The book isn't bad, its just not a great book. Read it, but don't expect it to be as good as its hype.
